Single haptic fixation of IOL is a simple one point scleral fixation of the IOL when there is inadequate capsular bag support. This technique is useful in aphakias with capsular remnants as a procedure for primary as well as secondary IOL implantation and in cases of IOL subluxation, to reposition and fixate the same IOL. This can be done using rigid / foldable lens and single piece / three piece IOL. The technique uses the available capsular remnant to support the leading haptic and an easy single scleral fixation suture to support the other haptic. It reduces the operation time, achieves the IOL stability, and minimizes postoperative complications. Step by step demonstration of this technique in various clinical situations is done in this scientific video film.
